Extract

A departure from an isothermal mass distribution in a rich cluster is expected if the genesis involves a coherent recollapse phase. The character of this departure is calculated and looked for in the data available for the Comma Cluster. No significant deviation from an isothermal mass distribution is found for r < 360’.
